3-4) I expect my notes always synchronized. It works sometimes, sometimes not.
    Am I supposed to *explicitly* connect/login to my U1 account after every reboot?
    Even if I do it explicitly, the Web sync in Tomboy preferences remains gray (unselectable),
    I need to "Clear", add my computer for another time, select Web sync, then it works.
    The "cloud" icon on my panel *always* remains gray and crossed.
    Shouldn't it indicate whether I am connected/disconnected to U1?
    (You may notice that some of my computers on my U1 account are listed several times).

This service remains not trustworthy for a long time already.
